While reading different sections, I happened to be in Mark when this particular section of text caught my eye:
Mark 1:14
And after that John was delivered up, Jesus came to Galilee, and He was preaching the gospel of GOD, saying:
"The time is accomplished and the kingdom of GOD hath arrived; repent ye, and believe in HIS gospel."
This stuck out like a sore thumb to me. I looked at all the other versions, nothing. All of them had "the" gospel instead of "HIS, including Paul's on here."
This reading is correct! Jesus stated that He spoke nothing of Himself.
As abitrary as I may be, thanks Paul, I am being shown this every day. GOD continues to witness these bits and pieces to me, and I continue to watch and listen to HIM.
This was changed because it made distinction within the GODHEAD. Here we see again, the peshitta has doctrinal issues, and this carried over into the standardized greek texts. How lucky we were to find this particular syriac text!
Look at how careful this change was made in the text of the aramaic to witness to the monotheistic view. Very, very interesting!
